«The Woman in White» is Wilkie Collins's Victorian mystery novel, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (528 pages, in English).
The story begins when Walter Hartright encounters a woman dressed in white, alone and terrified, one night north of London. From that meeting, the novel weaves a plot of secrets, inheritances and deceptions, with characters such as the enigmatic Count Fosco. The novel is considered a pioneering work of detective fiction.
The novel was originally serialized between 1859 and 1860. This Wordsworth Classics edition, with an introduction by Scott Brewster, is complete and unabridged.
For readers of Victorian classics and fans of mystery and detective fiction.
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
